KODAK ESP Office 6100 Series All-in-One Printer
Setting the answer mode (auto answer or manual)
The default setting is for Auto Answer to be on. When Auto Answer is on, the 
printer picks up all incoming faxes automatically. The green Auto Answer LED is lit 
when Auto Answer is on. 
To answer calls manually, turn off Auto Answer by pressing the Auto Answer button 
so that the green LED is off. (
See “Receiving a fax manually” on page 52.)
Dialing Mode Tone (default) / Pulse Determines how the printer dials a fax 
number. 
Tone dialing (the more common 
method) uses tones to dial a phone 
number. It is faster and more reliable 
than pulse dialing, which uses a series of 
pulses to dial a phone number.
Traditionally, pulse dialing was used by 
rotary phones; tone dialing is used by 
touch-tone phones.
Error Correction On (default) / Off  Error correction is applied only when 
sending black-and-white faxes. It 
reduces the loss of data, which can occur 
on poor phone lines. 
Error correction increases the send time 
on poor phone lines, but the 
transmission is much more reliable. 
(Error correction does not apply to faxes 
being received.)
